Phatronics Analog VU Boutique Analog VU Meter W/ Spectrum Analyzer Hand Made Point to Point Wiring
The all new Phatronics Analog VU meters are great! They are made one at a time by hand in the USA. All point to point wiring. Many DAWs have a built in analog style meter or you can buy a plugin, but these take up real estate on your screen and they are not always accurate depending on how hard the CPU is working. Having a real analog VU meter that you can look at anytime to see an accurate representation of your audio is essential.
FEATURES:
• 2 Large analog VU meters representing left and right stereo with LED backlights.
• XLR and ¼ TRS ins and outs on back panel.
• Front panel on/off switch with power indicator light
• External 9V heavy duty power supply
• Built in Spectrum analyzer to give you a representation of frequencies. (From Left Input)
• Fully custom 3D printed case.
• Ability to adjust and calibrate the unit for your specific setup.
INSTALLATION:
Simply take 2 channels out of your interface and plug them into the left and right inputs of the Analog VU. Make sure they are line outputs and not powered outputs or you will damage the unit. Optionally, you can also use the Analog VUs built in outputs to go back into your interface / DAW. It is a direct connection and there is no signal loss.
CALIBRATION:
We test and calibrate each unit, so it should work perfectly right out of the box. For some reason if your system is setup differently, you can easily calibrate the unit by sending it test tones (we use 1k) and adjusting the 2 small pots on the circuit board which are located inside at the bottom of the unit. You can adjust them with a small phillips screwdriver.
VU Meters are fundamental in the ace sound world. VU means "volume unit" and it is an instrument used to quantify signal level and elements of sound. VU meters give a visual sign of the sign level - they show the extent anything signal is shipped off them. VU Meters are particularly useful in estimating tumult, gain arranging, and blending sound. VU Meters along with a range analyzer can help star sound specialists "change" a sign until it's ideal. VU Meters are extraordinarily helpful instruments that permit designers to ensure their blends are adjusted, appropriately EQ'd, and accurately compacted with no contortion or cutting of sound waves. In synopsis, VU Meters play a vital part in guaranteeing that master sound sounds its greatest possible!
